Data center park developer Tract is targeting a large campus outside Richmond, Virginia.Tract has filed with Goochland County to develop the Tuckahoe Technology Park, an 872-acre master-planned campus that will host data centers built by other developers.The company last month filed a pre-application for a conditional use permit (CUP) via VALCO Goochland, LLC to develop in the county’s technology overlay district area known as TOD West.Tract is hoping to develop on land at 44 Cobblestone Circle and 70 Fleetwood Lane, bounded to the west by Hockett Road, to the east by Route 288, and to the south by Patterson Avenue.Site plans suggest 12 buildings could be developed on the campus. The multi-phase campus could total 900MW at full build-out. More than $3 billion could be invested.“Tuckahoe Technology Park represents a strategically located, thoughtfully planned data center campus that aligns with Goochland County’s objectives to grow its commercial tax base while protecting community character and environmental resources,” Tract says in application documents.Goochland County is located to the west of Richmond. The city of Goochland is the county seat. Both city and county are named after Sir William Gooch, a British army officer and governor of Virginia between 1727 and 1749.According to county officials, Tract has been in negotiations about the campus since late 2023. The county adopted a data center overlay district in late 2025.The land is currently zoned Agricultural, Limited (A-2) and Residential, General (R-3). A CUP allows property owners to request certain land uses that are not automatically allowed under current zoning but may still be appropriate if specific conditions are met. The CUP process generally takes 90 to 120 days.A community meeting about Tract’s application is due to be held on July 23.Colorado-based Tract was founded by former Cologix CEO Grant van Rooyen and describes itself as a company that acquires and develops ‘master-planned’ data center parks. The company aims to get sites zoned, powered, and shovel-ready for other companies to develop data centers on.After launching in Nevada in 2023, Tract has plans for large-scale campuses across Texas, Virginia, Arizona, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, North Carolina, and Utah.Tract has another Virginia technology park in development outside Richmond in Hanover County. The Hanover Technology Park site could total 2.4GW across 1,200 acres.The company was aiming to expand further in Hanover with the 430-acre, 900MW Mountain Road Technology Park, but local officials rejected the application earlier this year.Tract was also previously looking to develop on 740 acres in nearby Chesterfield County. The application for that project was withdrawn last year after local planning officials recommended denial.Tract’s parent, Tract Capital, has launched a dedicated data center developer, known as Fleet DC, that will develop on land owned by Tract as well as other sites.
